Preparing for a disaster is part of life. Hurricane, Tornado or war, it's always good to be ready

Wait, with the US? With the entire Western world? Can't we discuss this? The West was happy for China when the economic miracle raised people out of poverty. But there were some business deals that seemed unfair. Now China is hostile. Can't we all just take a deep breath and imagine world peace?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)

> Chinese leader Xi Jinping says he is preparing for war.

> At the annual meeting of China's parliament and its top political advisory body in March, Xi wove the theme of war readiness through four separate speeches, in one instance telling his generals to "Dare to fight." His government also announced a 7.2 percent increase in China's defense budget, which has doubled over the last decade, as well as plans to make the country less dependent on foreign grain imports.

> In his third speech, on March 8 to representatives from the PLA and the People's Armed Police, Xi declared that China must focus its innovation efforts on bolstering national defense and establish a network of national reserve forces that could be tapped in wartime.

Isn't that the entire point of a standing army? To constantly be prepared for war?

It's most likely to modernize the equipment and tactics. Better recruitment. I have heard bits and pieces that they are recruiting lots of graduates from the nuclear engineering schools to the detriment of the civil nuclear industry. Also, before covid, the rocket force was recruiting students in the artificial intelligence field. That's the conventional and nuclear missile forces.

Xi has 30m "extra" men to use as cannon fodder due to families killing baby girls during the one child era.

We will have another global conflict soon. Hopefully democracies will prevail but that is not certain. I don't look forward to being a vassal in Xi's world. At 64, I will fight to preserve our nation

Taiwan is also getting ready for battle. Actually, everyone is getting ready for battle. People, live each day to the fullest. Go on dates, get married, start a family, travel, and have fun while you can!
